[Profanity Filter] Suggestion: Turn back on.

Please turn the profanity filter back on. The 13-15year olds (and that general range- maybe a few bad apples) seem to think it's cool to try and pack as much profanity into a line of text as possible. It's annoying. There's no problem IMO if it happens once in a while.. you die, you mess something up.. but just for the pure joy of trying to feel like a grown up is annoying and to pack it into line after line of text ugh.... all one has to do is glance at the server side logs for a few days and you'll see what I mean.

Saying that only 13-15 year olds are swearing frequently is offensive to me. I'm 13, and while I do occasionally drop an F bomb over being killed, screwing up my build, or just straight up getting pissed off by something, I will not swear every chance I get.

Please change the whole 13-15 year old thing, as it is stereotyping, and offensive.

Also, I like the filter off. Yes, there are idiots who swear every chance they get, but seriously, if we get a mute-player plugin for the server, the problem is solved, and I don't feel like I am playing Runescape when I see stars in the chat after saying a (vulgar) word.

I'm not going to change it because it's a correct stereo type lol. There is a larger % of players in that age range that do this. Hence some "bad apples" in the batch. It's something kids lose with age as real life starts to slowly seep in outside the world of MiddleSchool/HighSchool. You'll reserve your cuss words for when you pay your insurance premiums, mortgage, last minute term papers, deadlines, and bad days on the job :p They'll mean a lot more then and you'll use them less frequently LOL.

Very well said my friend. I know you guys hear this all the time but you will understand when you are a bit older. People used to say the same thing to me but I never really listened. If I could go back in time I would keep my mouth shut.

We here at T9K are not politically incorrect. I'm 15, doesn't mean I'm an immature brat that curses, cursing annoys me. Same goes for you, doesn't mean every single person in that age group does. But yes, it usually is people in that age that curse because "it's cool".

I do, however appreciate your literacy. I'm tired of seeing little kids that talk all "Hey wuts up? how r u?"
